A wheel adapter to convert a storage container to a wheeled storage container is provided. The wheel adapter comprises a mounting bracket attachable to the storage container. The mounting bracket comprises a first leg configured to engage a bottom surface of the storage container, and a second leg configured to engage a side surface of the storage container. The second leg comprises a wheel coupling. The wheel adapter also includes a wheel rotatably connected to the wheel coupling. The wheel is constructed and arranged for rotation about an axis to provide rolling support of the storage container on the ground.

A handcart may include a frame; a drive wheel rotatably supported by the frame about a rotation axis extending in a right-left direction; a prime mover configured to rotate the drive wheel; a bracket pivotably supported by the frame about a pivot axis extending in an up-down direction; and a non-drive wheel supported by the bracket about a rotation axis extending in a direction perpendicular to the up-down direction. The non-drive wheel may include a first non-drive wheel and a second non-drive wheel, and the first non-drive wheel and the second non-drive wheel may be configured to be rotatable independent of each other.

A caterer buffet table conversion kit comprises detachable one piece spring handles for transport and exchange of chafing dishes, and low profile table casters. The components of the kit have utility individually. The handles are each formed from a one piece spring steel and include a semi-cylindrical grip, an upper and a lower leaf with the lower having a spring forming member facilitating the engagement of the chafing pan between the leafs. Each caster includes a caster assembly including a caster wheel or caster ball and a tubular table coupling bracket coupled thereto and configured to receive a conventional table leg therein. The bracket is offset from a caster wheel or caster ball and configured to receive the table leg wherein a terminal end of the table leg is positioned vertically below the center of the caster wheel or caster ball to minimize the height of the table top.

There is described a caster wheel support assembly for a wheelchair, the caster wheel support assembly having a first section configured to be securable to a frame member of the wheelchair and a second section configured to hold a swivel member coupled to a caster wheel. The caster wheel support assembly has a holding member designed as a collet configured to hold a first portion of the swivel member, in which first portion extends along a first axis. A second portion of the swivel member, which is coupled to the caster wheel, extends away from the first portion along a second axis, in which second axis forms an angle relative to the first axis. The holding member and swivel member are configured such that the first portion of the swivel member is supported by the holding member to selectively allow rotation of the swivel member relative to the holding member about the first axis and thereby cause adjustment of a camber of the caster wheel. The collet is configured to selectively allow clamping of the swivel member onto the holding member, thereby preventing rotation of the swivel member relative to the holding member, and release of the swivel member with respect to the holding member, thereby permitting rotation of the swivel member relative to the holding member.

A system includes (i) a caster having a first stem portion with a first stem portion connection configuration; and (ii) a set of second stem portions having an identical second stem portion connection configuration but having outer dimensions differing from outer dimensions of another second stem portion in the set of second stem portions. The caster first stem portion connection configuration is adapted to mate with the second stem portion connection configuration of the second stem portions in the set of second stem portions.

A dual-stage caster is disclosed. The caster includes a horn assembly and an arm assembly pivotally coupled to the horn assembly. The caster further includes a wheel rotatably mounted to the arm assembly and a mounting plate mounted to the horn assembly and configured be mounted to a transport vehicle. When the wheel is moved along a support surface, the arm assembly is in a neutral position and the wheel is in the up position. When the wheel moves into a depression in the support surface, the wheel stage spring moves the wheel from the up position to the down position and the arm assembly remains in the neutral position. When the wheel moves over a raised portion in the support surface, the arm assembly pivots relative to the horn assembly so as to compress the main stage spring. The caster may be a swivel caster or a rigid caster.

A support assembly includes a body and a bearing assembly. The body defines a first opening. The bearing assembly is selectively repositionable within the first opening. The bearing assembly includes a housing, a socket, and a ball. The housing defines a second opening. The socket is positioned at least partly within the second opening and coupled to the housing. The ball bearing is positioned within the socket. The ball bearing is configured to rotate with respect to the housing. The bearing assembly is selectively repositionable between a first position, where the ball bearing extends from the body, and a second position, where the ball bearing does not extend from the body.

A three-wheeled all-terrain vehicle or push chair utilizes an innovative front wheel mount, employing a side-mounted caster mechanism, for improving its pushability and steerability. Because of this approach, lifting is not required to steer the chair, and any size or type and width of wheel can be used. As a result, the invention provides a new class of all-terrain product for the disabled adult market and a rugged, truly off-road runner/jogger/hiker stroller for the young child market.

A removable transport caster assembly secured to side to side beams or front to back beams in a data center cabinet in a data center. The removable transport caster assembly is temporarily installed on the cabinet to enable the cabinet to be relocated to another location in the data center. The removable transport caster assembly includes a transport caster and a transport caster bracket secured to the transport caster. The transport caster has a mounting plate, a mounting bracket extending from the mounting plate, a lifting plate pivotally connected to the mounting plate, a lifting lever pivotally connected to the mounting bracket and a wheel assembly. The transport caster bracket secures the transport caster to the cabinet when relocation of the cabinet is desired.
